The goslings are interested in all the can see. Instinctively they swim in a straight line between the protective parents.

Psa 5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

Perhaps they see the red clover and the adorable teddy bear looking bumblebee. They must learn what is good and what is to be avoided. The Bumblebee might look tasty, but that stinger is to be avoided.

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
